Most Honey on UK Shelves Is Not What You Think
In March 2023, the European Commission's Joint Research Centre tested 320 batches of honey arriving at EU borders. Forty-six percent were flagged as suspected of being adulterated with sugar syrups. Here is the difference between what we sell and what most large brands sell.
Mass-Market Honey
Often blended,
often heated,
often anonymous.
- Blended from multiple countries (typical label: "a blend of EU and non-EU honeys")
- Pasteurised at 70°C or higher, which destroys natural enzymes
- Ultra-filtered to remove pollen, which removes traceability
- Engineered to stay liquid forever (a sign of processing, not quality)
- The adulteration incentive is significant: imported honey averages €2.32 per kg in the EU, while sugar syrups cost as little as €0.40 per kg
- 74% of suspicious consignments tested by the EU originated from China; 93% of samples from Turkey were flagged
HoneyBee & Co.
Single origin,
cold extracted,
traceable to a region.
- Single-origin, single floral source. Acacia from Transylvania. Heather from the Yorkshire Moors.
- Cold-extracted. Never heated above hive temperature (~40°C)
- Pollen and natural enzymes preserved intact
- Crystallises naturally over time, a reliable sign of authenticity
- Six generations of beekeeping heritage in the Nistor family of Transylvania
- Our British honey supplier holds SALSA Certification (Safe and Local Supplier Approval)
Of honey samples tested by the EU at member state borders in 2023 were suspected to be adulterated with sugar syrups, the highest rate ever recorded.

What Is Raw Honey, and Why Does It Matter?
Zuccheri ed enzimi naturali
Raw honey is mostly fructose and glucose, plus active enzymes the bees produce inside the hive. When honey is heated above 40°C, those enzymes are permanently destroyed. We never pasteurise.
Polline e antiossidanti
Every jar of raw honey retains natural pollen grains and antioxidants from the flowers the colony visited. These compounds give each honey its distinct flavour. They are absent in pasteurised honey.
Contenuto d'acqua e purezza
Our Acacia honey has a naturally low water content of 15 to 19%, which prevents fermentation. Many mass-produced honeys contain far more water, often a sign of over-dilution or harvesting too early.
Health Properties
Honey has been valued for thousands of years and features in folk medicine across cultures. Its natural antimicrobial properties come from enzymes that remain active only in raw, unheated honey.
Not all honey is the same. The colony's health, the flowers it forages, the beekeeper's harvesting methods, and whether the honey has been heated or filtered all determine what ends up in your jar. At HoneyBee & Co., every batch is fully traceable from hive to home. Read more about the most common myths about raw honey or learn why raw honey is good for you.
Six Generations of Beekeeping in Transylvania
HoneyBee & Co. was born from a family legacy spanning more than six generations in the Acacia forests of Transylvania, Romania. Founder Dragos Nistor grew up watching his father Nistor Fanel and grandfather Nistor Grigore tend the family hives. They taught him that exceptional honey is never rushed, never heated, and never compromised.
Today, those same family hives in Transylvania produce our Acacia, Sunflower, and Linden honeys. Our British range, Heather, Wildflower, and Soft Set, is hand-harvested in small batches each season from the Yorkshire Moors and the rolling Midlands by our SALSA-certified British supplier.
Whether the honey comes from our Transylvanian family apiaries or our British supplier, every jar shares the same founding principle: the wellbeing of the bees comes first. We harvest only what the colony can spare, and never compromise on purity. This approach is why our honey was featured in Vogue’s Summer Hot List across three consecutive editions in summer 2024.
Read Our Full StoryIl miele ha cambiato consistenza. È un buon segno.
Crystallisation is not a flaw. It is one of the most reliable signs that your honey is raw, pure, and unprocessed. Supermarket honey is typically heated and ultra-filtered to prevent it from ever setting, a process that strips away the very compounds that make raw honey valuable. Our honey is never heated above natural hive temperatures, which means the glucose naturally present in the nectar will, over time, form crystals. This is chemistry, not contamination. For more on what is actually true about crystallised honey, read our guide to the most common myths and misconceptions about raw honey.
Miele di Erica
Struttura: Soda e tixotropica
Naturally the firmest in our range. Behaves like a soft gel in the jar and becomes more fluid when stirred. Spread on warm toast or stir into porridge where the warmth loosens it beautifully.
Set morbido Miele
Consistenza: Liscia e spalmabile
Intentionally crystallised through a controlled process that produces an ultra-fine, creamy consistency. The artisan alternative to butter, with a velvety spread every time.
Miele di fiori selvatici
Consistenza: Liquido, cristallizza nel tempo
Naturally runny when fresh. Over weeks or months it will set into a coarser crystalline texture. Both forms are normal. The flavour is unchanged.
Miele di acacia
Texture: Slow to crystallise
Acacia has the highest fructose-to-glucose ratio of any variety we stock, which is why it remains beautifully clear and liquid for longer than almost any other raw honey.
Miele di girasole
Texture: Crystallises quickly
High glucose content means it crystallises within weeks of jarring. The result is a firm, pale yellow set with a mild, clean flavour. Ideal for spreading and baking.
Miele di tiglio
Texture: Medium set
Sets to a soft, medium-textured crystal that is easy to spoon and mild on the palate. Lovely stirred into warm tea or drizzled over mild cheeses.
Explore the Different Types of Raw Honey
Our collection spans the full spectrum of raw honey, from the lightest and most delicate varieties to bold, complex honeys with deep character. Find the type that suits your taste.
Miele di acacia
Our Acacia honey is produced in the pristine Acacia forests of Transylvania, Romania, the same landscapes where founder Dragos Nistor grew up watching his family tend their hives. Crystal clear with a naturally mild, delicate flavour, it has one of the lowest sucrose contents of any honey variety and remains liquid longer than almost any other type.
Acquista il miele di acaciaMiele di fiori selvatici britannici
Harvested from the rolling Midlands by independent beekeepers we have worked with for years. The bees visit a diverse mix of seasonal wildflowers including clover, meadowsweet, and cornflower. The result is a honey whose flavour shifts gently with every harvest, reflecting the true biodiversity of the colony's landscape.
Acquista il miele WildflowerMiele di erica britannico
Hand-harvested from the wild Yorkshire Moors each autumn, our Heather honey is one of Britain's most prized and rarest varieties. Naturally unpasteurised and cold-filtered to preserve its pollen content, it has a distinctive earthy, smoky character quite unlike any other honey. Dark amber in colour, thixotropic in texture.
Acquista Heather HoneySet morbido Miele
Made through a carefully controlled crystallisation process. The honey is seeded with fine crystals and held at low temperatures until it sets into a smooth, spreadable consistency. No heat is applied at any stage, so every spoonful retains its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and full nutritional profile.

From our family apiaries in Transylvania. A distinctive fresh flavour with delicate minty notes and a pale golden colour. Linden has a long folk tradition and may be of interest to those seeking a naturally soothing honey variety.

The Health Benefits of Raw Honey
Energia e nutrizione naturale
Raw honey provides a natural source of energy through its fructose and glucose content, along with trace vitamins and minerals that refined sugar entirely lacks. It contains small amounts of amino acids, organic acids, and antioxidant compounds that contribute to its broader nutritional profile.
Sostenere il sistema immunitario
Raw honey is naturally rich in flavonoids and antioxidants, bioactive compounds that may help support the body's natural defences. The enzyme glucose oxidase, present only in raw, unheated honey, produces hydrogen peroxide upon contact with moisture, which is why honey has featured in folk medicine and traditional wound care across human history.
Calma la tosse e favorisce la digestione
Honey is increasingly recognised as a natural option that may help soothe throat irritation and ease occasional coughs. It also acts as a prebiotic, meaning it may benefit gut health by encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria. For a traditional remedy that combines two of the oldest natural soothers, see our guide to the health benefits of ginger and honey.
Il miele in una dieta equilibrata
Used as a natural sweetener in cooking, baking, and drinks, honey fits naturally into a balanced, health-conscious diet when consumed in moderate amounts. It can serve as a thoughtful substitute for refined sugars in recipes. For a closer look at how raw honey compares with industrial sweeteners, read syrups, sweeteners, and raw honey.
